Acute encephalitis is a debilitating neurological disorder. Though most frequent causes of encephalitis are infectious, the number of reports about autoimmune encephalitis is increasing in the past 10 years. Identifications of biomarkers have changed the approach of diagnosis. Accurate assessment of clinical features and detection of antibodies is essential in diagnosis of acute encephalitis. However, some clinician relies on the antibody testing and that made delay the diagnosis because time is needed to get the autoantibody test result. To assess comorbid symptoms leads to earlier diagnosis and optimal immunotherapy. The aim of this symposium is to recognize newly identified forms of autoimmune encephalitis and provide practical clinical approach.
